I wanted to start a thread with applicant updates and information in reference to the IOI position with the ATF. I am currently in the process of having my background/ security clearance cleared. I have completed the interview with the investigator about 3 months ago. Anyone know the average length of the background check? I was offered and accepted a location by HR. That being said, I have been told that there will be an IOI class attending Glynco sometime in August. Has anyone else heard that there will be a class in August? For all of my current IOIs, how likely is it that I will attend the August class?

Any other applicants in the same boat as me? Anyone heard anything different than me? Also, what can I expect to happen next in the process(notification of clearance/EOD, etc.) How much time is usually given to applicants prior to attending the academy?

Applied in September of last year. Interviewed with my Background Investigator about two months ago. Spoke with a separate investigator today regarding a different matter and found out I'm in the adjudication phase of my BI. After that I was told it has to get sent for Supervisory approval. I think we are in the same boat trying to make the August or October class. I'm in the BOP as well. Have about 5 years in the Feds altogether.

I have been in the BOP for about four years. It looks like we are on the same timeline with the ATF. I haven't heard anything about adjudication yet. Will they let me know if I am in the adjudication process or do I need to call to find out? I see that you mentioned maybe going to Glynco in October as well as Aug. Did HR tell you that there will be a class in August? I have friend that's an IOI and he didn't mention anything to me about the adjudication process (he may not remembered- he went through in 2012).

My investigator said that they will let me know either way after it gets to the supervisor for approval. Basically adjudication means that they're done collecting for the BI and now they're reviewing everything. Everything they collected from this investigation and then from the one with the BOP or any other agency. About the classes in August and October, I heard from one of these forums, nothing from inside the agency so I guess we will see. I know we aren't the only two in the pipeline. If anybody has any info feel free to share as much or as little as you want.

Been lurking around here for a while. There is a class in August, January, and then July. There were six classes scheduled for next year but was cut down because of budget. I interviewed at the end of Feb, 2016 and finished with my BI end of March. It happened very quickly, but I have not heard a word since then.

Murf, I'm in the same boat. I received an "applicant non-disclosure form" last Monday, June 27th. I'm assuming that's a good sign. I called HR last Monday and they told me that I should hear something "by the end of the year." I didn't like that response, so I called back on Wednesday (29 June), talked to somebody from management and was told I should hear something "by the end of the week." I haven't heard anything since. I'm currently in the Army and I'm in limbo about my re-enlistment, so it would be nice if they put out some kind of work sometime soon.

Just wondering, I know that HR does not give status updates or updates on upcoming classes---- so where do we get any information regarding future classes? I was wondering if you have to relocate if they will inform canidates of potentials.

My process has gone very fast so far compared to others. I applied for three locations in Florida and one location in New Jersey. I spoke with HR back in May and they stated that they won't disclose the area I was selected for until my clearance has been adjudicated. Apparently this is how they're doing the new announcements? Below is my timeline.
